Built with blued Spezial Laufstahl barrels featuring a single bead sight on the matted flat solid rib, Merkel marking on the left of the chamber, scroll engraving at the breech, front sling swivel, 1983 dated German proof marks, and 2 3/4 inch chambers with automatic ejectors. The barrels are fitted to the coin finished sidelock action which displays deeply engraved fences and scroll engraving surrounding a pair of game scenes modeled after paintings by Johann Elias Ridinger (Germany, 1698-1767). The scenes depict a huntsman on horse back with his pack of dogs running down a stag on the left and on the right we see the hounds proudly protecting their kill awaiting the hunter. The left scene is marked with Ridinger's signature at the front and signed "W. Wolf" at the bottom rear for the engraver that cut these fantastic scenes. The gun features double triggers (front articulated), cocking indicators, and a tang mounted manual safety. The gun is fitted with a beautifully figured and multi-point checkered three-piece forend with engraved fittings and a pistol grip stock with black grip cap, raised cheekpiece, rear sling swivel, and factory buttplate. Barrel and stock measurements (U/O): bore diameter nine inches from the breech both proofed and measured at 18.4mm (.724 inches); choke constriction .030/.045 inches; minimum wall thickness .030/.030 inches; 1 9/16 inch drop at comb; 2 5/8 inch drop at heel; 14 inch length of pull; weight 7 lbs. 7 oz.

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue finish with minor handling evidence and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. A fantastic chance to own a genuinely gorgeous piece of German firearms art!
